Hi Theresa I take it you have found the entry on the 1837 site. Have you checked to see if the death is on FreeBMD? Jeanette x

Typical Laird! lol How about asking if anyone on the Records Board has a spare credit to give you a second pair of eyes. Or maybe you can email 1837 and ask for their assistance. Jeanette x

The image is on FreeBMD (page 382 for that quarter) Churchley Esther Mary, Islington 1b 108 is how I read it. The 'b' is indistinct but Islington was Volume 1b The name (also unclear) is alphabetically between Churchill and Churchman. Islington deaths in that quarter were on pages 103 to 163ish.
